REVOLVING Wmoowsasa.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 716,575, dated December 23, 1902.

Application filed March 13,1902.

T ctZZ whom it ntay concern:

Be it known that we, WILLIAM E. OGDEN,

a resident of J effersonville, county of Clark,

State of Indiana, and \IVALTER H. OGDEN and DAVID O. OGDEN, residents of Louisville,

county of Jefferson, and State of Kentucky, citizens of the United States, have invented a new and useful Revolving Window-Sash, of which the following is a specification.

Our invention relates to improvements in windows whose sashes are adapted to be rotated to permit of the ready cleaning, glazing, and repairing thereof.

It consists of the combination of parts, ineluding their construction, substantially as hereinafter more fully disclosed, and specifically pointed out by the claims.

In the accompanying drawings, illustrating the preferred embodiment of our invention, Figure 1 is a broken perspective view thereof with the upper sash lowered and swung into an approximately horizontal position. Fig. 2 is a similar view with the lower sash similarly disposed. Fig. 3 is an enlarged detailed z 5 view showing more especially one of the sashhangers or means for effecting pivotal connection therebetween and the sash-weightsuspending cord. Fig. 4 is a sectional view of said part, also showing it in dotted line as 0 when sprung outwardly from the sash. Fig.

5 is perspective views of sections of the inside bead and parting-strip. Fig. 6 is an enlarged broken sectional view showing more particularly the form of catch employed in 3 5 connection with the inside beads and partingstrips. Fig. 6 is a detached face view of such catch. Fig. 7 is a horizontal section taken through one of said hangers above the sash-cord-engaging barb or fastening. Figs. 8 and 8 are enlarged broken detail views of one of the inside beads and one of the parting-strips, respectively, disclosing a modified form of retaining contrivance answering to the parts M of Fig. 5. Figs. 9, 9, and 10 are 4 5 detail views also disclosing similar catches as those above referred to for use in connection with the parting-strip.

Latitude is allowed herein as to details, as they may be changed at pleasure without departing from the spirit of our invention and the same yet remain intact and be protected.

Serial No. 97,970. (No model.)

In practicing our invention we suitably connect up with the sash-Weight cords a and the upper and lower sashes peculiarly-constructed hangers or arms A, preferably of the construction shown, two being applied to each sash. Said arms or hangers are of spring metal and have their lower ends pivotally connected in any suitable way to the lateral edges or sides of the sashes, said hangers being bod- 6o ily let into channels or grooves produced in said lateral edges for removal out of the way. Said hangers are produced of a suitable thickness toward and at their lower or pivoted ends, with the remainder of their lengths of less thickness, possessing them of sufficient flexibility to allow them to be readily sprung away from said sashes, as required in with drawing the sashes and axially swinging them for a purpose presently seen and in conven- 7o iently effecting connection therebetween and the sash-weight cords, as indicated by dotted lines in Fig. 4:. Each hanger or arm is formed at its upper end with a split thimble or hoodlike socket J, with one side arranged in the same plane with the arm, but having its lower or base end standing laterally of or offset from said arm to provide for the ready insertion of the sash-cord thereinto. The sash-cords are inserted into the sockets laterally through the splits or slits A, extending longitudinally thereof, being forced finally into and passing out through openings A in the upper ends of said sockets. Each socket J also has struck or punched up therefrom upon its inside a barb 0r fastening B, adapted to intercept and engage the sash-cord-to secure it against endwise withdrawal or displacement. This arrangement, it is apparent, will permit, after withdrawing or removing the sashes from 0 the window-frame, the pivoting or swinging of said sashes axially, as required in cleaning, glazing, or repairing the same, wholly inside of the plane of the blind-stop. Thus the cleaning of the windows, &c., although 5 they may be barred or screened, can be readily done without necessitating the removal of the bars or screens, as would otherwise be required. The removable section of the sectional inside bead G and of the parting-strip H each has at its upper beveled or mitered surface or edge preferably a pin or dowel M and at. or about its mid-length a like pin or dowel K and F, respectively, entering holes in the contacting parts, and at or near its lower end a spring-catch E and L, respectively, to provide for removably securing said inside bead and parting-strip section in place. These may be of the construction shown or otherwise.

In Figs. 8 8 we employ, in lieu of the parts M, a form or retaining contrivance M of the construction shown.

Having thus fully described our invention, what we claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. In a window, the combination of a sash, sash-weight-suspending means, and a hanger or arm pivoted to said sash and having at one end an ofiset split hood-like extension provided with an opening in its top and projecting Within itself a fastening for said sash- Weight suspending means, passing out through said opening, substantially as set forth.

2. In a window, the combination of a sash, sash-Weight-suspending means, and a hanger or arm pivoted to said sash and having at one end an offset split hood-like extension provided in its upper end with an opening and within itself with a barb adapted to engage said weight-suspending means, substantially as set forth.

3. In a window, a sash, hangers or arms pivoted to, and normally lying within the plane of, said sash, and of a resilient character to permit the lateral flexing of said arms and their automatic return to normal position, said arms or hangers having, each, an overhanging split and apertured hood-like end portion, with an inturned fastening, and sash-weight-suspending means connected to said hood-like end portion by said inturned fastening, substantially as set forth.

In testimony whereof we have signed our names to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
